First glance I thought this was the new annual membership price.

It also tracks with the reading I’ve been doing on Mutual Aid and Solidarity Unionism this year.

I’m tired of talking about institutional problems as hypotheticals - can we please just do the work? And by work I don’t mean crafting another resolution.

I used to always paste large chunks of text into my in progress papers - notes I’d emailed to myself, references, quotes I needed to weave in - it helped me organize my thoughts and keep things I knew I’d use close at hand. Now all of that would flag my instructor that I might be cheating.

No I cannot confirm renewal until our district office confirms I can pay you. 🤷‍♀️

How do you have such a monopoly in this space?

I’ve just been informed next year’s conference is in Louisville so let’s all go to my former hometown and eat some good food!

And I really needed sessions related to facilities and space - the content I have seen has been very helpful.

And that is my review - and my brain definitely appreciates a conference with fewer sessions per day!

But I do appreciate the mix of presentations by public and academic librarians. Conferences I usually go to seem to focus more on large, university libraries and as a librarian in a small community college I sometimes feel we exist between the two in size and scope.

I’ve mostly been going to small, focused conferences and I do find this one to be more expensive and thin on overall content. I also appreciate conferences that provide at least a shared breakfast. Also wish presentation rooms had at least one row of tables for laptop users.

I’m in Denver! But I went to the one in New Mexico years ago and it was wonderful - due for another visit for sure!
